It now occurs to me that, having read the installation instructions for
common hitch receivers, installation would have involved fishing
specially-designed bolts and reinforcing plates through access holes --
and the fishing wires are no longer going to be in place.
I think that trying to reclaim a hitch receiver will be a lost cause.
Moreover, who knows how rusted the nuts and bolts on the "donor" vehicle
will be?
